Actually, it works the other way.  If a lawyer wants an authenticated copy 
of an IETF document, he writes to us (or if he's dumb he subpoenas us) and 
we send him a boilerplate response.  See for example what we sent to Sony 
and Samsung:

https://iaoc.ietf.org/subpoenas.html

So if we say the XML is the definitive version, that's it.
